English AVR Set Up the AVR 7. S elect "Auto: EzSet/EQ". 8. If you have a subwoofer connected, select "Yes with Sub." Otherwise, select "Yes without Sub." 9. F or AVR 1610/AVR 161, or for AVR 1710/AVR 171's in 5.0- or 5.1-channel systems, select "5.0" or "5.1" in the Speaker Configuration screen. For AVR 1710/AVR 171's in 7.0- or 7.1-channel systems, select "7.0" or "7.1." 10. The test will begin. Make sure that the room is quiet while the test noise is playing through the speakers. 11. When the test finishes, select "Done" to exit. NOTES: • If there are fewer than five main speakers in your system, do not use the EzSet/EQ process. Instead, proceed as described in Manual Speaker Setup, on page 30. • If you are using an AVR 1710/AVR 171 in 6.0- or 6.1-channel configuration with a single surround back speaker, do not use the EzSet/EQ process. Instead, proceed as described in Manual Speaker Setup, on page 30. Set Up Your Sources The Source Setup menu lets you assign the correct physical audio and video connections to each source and lets you set many audio and video playback features for each source. IMPORTANT: The "Video In" and "Audio In" settings are not optional and must be adjusted before you use your AVR to enable playback of each source. You can adjust the other settings later. See System Settings, on page 34, for complete information about adjusting all of the Settings menu options. 1. Review the input connections you listed on the Source Buttons and Assigned Connectors table, on page 16. Note what changes (if any) you want to make from the default connector assignments that appear on the list. 2. Turn on your TV and select the TV input where you connected the AVR in Connect Your TV or Video Display, on page 15. 3. Press the remote control's OSD/Menu button. The AVR's OSD setup menu will appear on the TV. (Note: If you have used a composite video connection to your TV, the OSD menus will not appear on your TV. Follow the steps below using the AVR's front-panel display.) 4. Use the remote's arrow and OK buttons to select "Source Setup," and use the left/right arrow buttons to select a source button with connectors that you want to re-assign. 5. Select "Video In" and select the video input connector you want to assign to the source button. Press the OK button. NOTE: If you select an HDMI connector as the video input connector, the audio input connector will automatically change to the same HDMI connector. 6. If you have not selected an HDMI connector for Video In, select "Audio In" and select the audio input connector you want to assign to the source button. Press the OK button. You cannot use a different video input connector with an HDMI audio input connector. 7. Press the remote's Back/Exit button and repeat steps 3 - 6 for the remaining source buttons with connectors you want to re-assign. Title: This selection lets you change the display name for the source, which is useful if your source's device type is different from the source's preprogrammed name. Use the Up/Down buttons to scroll forward or backeard through the alphanumeric characters until the desired character appears, then use the Left/Right buttons to move the cursor to the next or previous position. Move the cursor again to leave a blank space. (Your name can have a maximum of 10 characters.) When you have finished, press the OK Button. The new name will appear on the AVR's front panel and throughout the on-screen menu system. Tone: This setting determines whether the treble and bass controls are active for the source. When it's set to Off, the tone controls are out of the circuit, with no changes to the sound. When it's set to On, the bass and treble controls are in the circuit. Treble/Bass: These settings boost or cut the treble or bass frequencies by up to 10dB, in 2dB increments. Use the Left/Right buttons to change the setting. The default setting is 0dB. Night Mode: This setting activates Night mode for the source, which works with specially encoded Dolby Digital discs or broadcasts. Night mode compresses the audio so that louder passages are reduced in volume to avoid disturbing others, while dialogue remains intelligible. The following settings are available: • Off: No compression is applied. Loud passages in the program remain as they were recorded. • Mid: Loud passages in the program are reduced moderately in volume. • Max: Loud passages in the program are reduced more in volume. 23
